Fimpology is a novel discipline in the life sciences. The term "Fimpology" consists of two parts "Fimp" and "ology", in which, "F" represents fetus; "I" stands for infant; "M" is the first letter of maternal; "P" is that of paternal; and "ology" means a branch of scientific knowledge.
Fimpology studies the biological, ecological and evolutionary relationship among embryon, infant, mother and father from the physiological, developmental, and evolutionary perspective at the different evolutionary levels from the molecular level to the individual level. (Yin S-d. About Fimpology. The Journal of Theoretical Fimpology. Volume 1, Issue1: e-20130316-1. March 18, 2013).
The major purpose for launching The Journal of Theoretical Fimpology (JTF) is to open a novel forum for those theoretical papers that explore "where to go" around Fimpology, and to provide the theoretical bases for the further experimental study that focuses on "how to go". Comments on Fimpology and the journal or on the papers published in the journal are welcomed.
